Fixed wiring into mains. Professional installation required
The panel may be mounted using the EASYFIX mounting bracket and "hard wired" to the electrical supply. This will
require connection to a suitable connection box such as a fused spur positioned adjacent to the heater. This
method of installation must only be carried out by a competent electrician. The built-in touchscreen control
should be located at the bottom-right of the panel. The panel can only be mounted in a portrait position.
DISCLAIMER
Under all normal operating conditions it is not possible for the towel heater to reach temperatures high enough
to scorch fabrics commonly used in towels. This heater has an inbuilt-safety shut-off that will switch off the
power well before such temperatures can be reached. However it is common for many types of toiletries and
washing products and other uses to leave deposits in towels that can soak in and cause brown markings and
odours on towels due to the action of the heat on the deposits. Herschel disclaims any liability for these types of
marks or odours.
WARNING
Wiring to this appliance must be connected in accordance with the relevant national electrical safety standards.
It is a Class 1 appliance and must be earthed.
When placed in public areas, installation must comply with relevant local electrical standards. For certain public
buildings like schools and care homes the heaters must be installed according to the specific legislation for
these types of buildings.
The electrical supply to each heater should be provided by connecting to a circuit protected by a fuse or residual
current device (RCD) or Ground Fault circuit interrupter (GFCI ) suitable for the electrical rating of the appliance.
Colour coding used in the supplied mains cable: BROWN wire is to be connected to LIVE ('L'), the BLUE wire to
NEUTRAL ('N') and the GREEN/YELLOW wire to EARTH ('E').
CAUTION
Ensure mains power is OFF before commencing an installation involving fixed wiring. Any fixed wiring outside
the heater coming into contact or close proximity to the heater must be protected by sleeving with a
temperature rating of at least 90°c.
All cabling behind the appliance must take the shortest route to the edge of the heater.
Ensure that the power cable is not coiled. Shorten the power cable if possible and do not place excess cable on
the rear of the heater.
Electrical connections must not be made behind the heater regardless of wall or ceiling-mounting position.
The heater is not to be located immediately below a socket outlet in either wall or ceiling-mounted positions.
DO NOT
drill through the heater as this will cause irreparable damage and is also dangerous.
DO NOT
connect a heater that is damaged in any manner to the power network.
For mounting the Herschel panel use the supplied mounting hardware only and install in accordance with the
installation guide.
